‘She has a better time now than she ever did’: Kate Moss has been sober for over two years following decades of partying
Kate Moss has been sober for two years as she maintains a healthy lifestyle following decades of partying.
The supermodel, 46, was once known for her wild ways, but her longtime friend, DJ Fat Tony, has revealed she is now clean, with the pair having more fun now than ever before.

Kate was a member of The Primrose Hill Set – a name given to the all-star group of edgy residents of the leafy neighbourhood, who were known in their heyday for their raucous behaviour with stories of their antics becoming the stuff of legend.
After attending a week-long detox in Turkey back in June 2015, the runway sensation wound up being escorted off an easyJet flight home after her airport drinking session took a heavy turn.
The turnaround may come as a shock given that Kate’s love of boozing, which reportedly extended to flutes of prosecco at 8am and glasses of wine and vodka at lunch, saw friends coin her the nickname ‘The Tank’.
The catwalk queen recently admitted she’s tried to cut down on caffeine and nicotine, and enjoys having more quiet nights in.

He explained: ‘It was the 1980s, the 1990s. Drugs were everywhere — everyone did them — and you could get away with anything because there was no social media.
